Stuck pixels by the looks of it.

Thanks for the quick reply mate. It shows up on every colour except black.

Any idea's on what to do to get rid of them? Are there enough for an RMA do you think?

No RMA on this. Supplier won't touch it and neither will the manufacturer.

Monitor is still useable and the stuck pixels are only in the menu bar in general use, which is black Aero anyway, but still a bit miffed that a new monitor is like this out of the box.

Thanks for all of your help guys, much appreciated.

How long have you had it?

Brand new mate, roughly 7 days. It was bad like that straight out of the box.

Supplier or manufacturer won't accept it back as it's within ISO regs.

VB6, if you bought it online, you have 14 days to send it back as unwanted. You won't get refunded the postage though. Distance selling regs!

Bought it in person at a shop mate, but thanks for the advice.

Cheers.
